I was filling out some USA forms and it struck me as weird how most official forms are Last Name / First Name in that order. But then in most English language stuff like credit rolls we list names as First Name / Last Name.

It's one thing in Japan where everything is Last Name / First Name order and in sync. But I don't understand why so many official US paperwork and stuff is Last Name / First Name. It's just weird to me.

Beps, let's be honost. A lot of things in the US don't seem to make sense. The order of the date. I know I know, 9/11 wouldn't have the same ring as 11/9 (stupid ass joke on my part. sry), but day/month/year is a much more sensible way of writing out the date. Whatever. Celsius rocks too. I hate fahrenheit even though I've spent most of my life in the States.

T mobile Tuesday's. Popeye's giving away a chicken sandwich and some other chicken pieces.

So I got the spicy chicken sandwich and... people fought over this in parking lots/drive throughs/in-store lines?

America is stupid.

Sandwich tasted fine. Lots of chicken.

LTTP but in terms of filling out forms that are likely to be alphabetized it just made sense to have the last name first in the era of paper. Alphabatize by last name, then first name, then middle initial. I feel like in the digital age you see it both ways. Outside of filling out forms, western notions of individualism have placed predominance on our first name as our identity. Our familial name is rather inconsequential compared to other cultures. Quite often in the old world, your last name was just the town you were born in or your profession. You think I'm going to identify as a Shoemaker or a Smith or a Miller?

Either my online class was freakng awful or a lot of students spent their Corona semester just playing vidya and smoking weed.

The exam is just bad, I think I will look into an alternative way to earn credit points or offer a second exam, because I never had that many people fail.

What class is this? I've been through a few where the class average was around 40% but in the US, grades are curved so almost half the students still passed.

It looks like that's only when it knows you'll for sure blow up the RAM. Whenever I get that error, it's borderline enough that it runs for a couple hours before telling me I fucked up.

Sometimes it feels like I'm a visitor from the future considering how far ahead on the curve I am in terms of internet lingo and trends.

Dad: "Wow, look at this American on TV he's a great painter"
Me: "Ah that's Bob Ross the former vet turned famous TV painter"
Dad: "How do you know this, this show hasn't been on before"

MSM news: "Beware of Fake News. Websites made to look like real news websites are out there spreading misinformation about pedophile cults and deep state"

All these normies adapting Qanon, 4chan posts and memes from 5 - 10 years ago coming alive

Is there a thread on understanding this forum?

I just noticed today that there's a 3rd sub-forum besides Games & Real Talk. When did this happen? Also where did the Bork Appreciation thread go?

Also I don't know what half the threads in Real Talk and almost any of threads in this 3rd sub-forum are about from their titles. Everything reads like nonsense like you need a secret cipher to understand what the topics are actually about. I don't remember this forum being like this. Gaming side is still pretty normal.

So it sounds like to get what's going on in this place outside the gaming side you need to be on the discord.

I still don't understand what Discord even is. It's like IRC essentially?

Can you give us some examples of these confusing threads. I’m not on any discord, and I don’t really have much trouble following any threads really.

Remember that this website is a digital trash heap, and peeps shit out whatever pops in their heads which isn’t always coherent. Just go with the flow, and have fun (or not).

Most importantly: like my posts or die.

That third sub-forum was made back in February!

Shosta did a good job summarizing events. That sub-forum is also only viewable by forum members, btw.

The "Bork Appreciation" thread was deleted- no idea what happened there. Maybe it was a mistake and they meant to unlock the thread or maybe they just did it for the lolz.

The third forum is this shit hole's...shit hole. You're not missing anything. You don't need to go into Discord unless you want to. Nothing is coming from there.
